Ratma Ritmo was the Goblin owner of The Goblin Pit in Rimeford. Old and vivacious, Ratma left an impression on anyone she met. To those she didn't know, she was suspicious and cold. But to her friends, and the few she could trust, she was kind and friendly, though in a prickly kind of way. These included T'Chuck, who worked part time as a server in the Goblin Pit, and R'Oarc, T'Chuck's daughter who would occasionally perform beat poetry a the tavern. She had the voice of someone who's been smoking since birth, and a wrinkly, dangling body. She wore a loose, leopard print tube top, and an amiable attitude.

She had a history with Emperor Beauregard, whom she referred to as "Bo". Likely, this is the same as Big Bo, whom she also had a history with, though she didn't think very favorably of him.

Ratma was known to be quite the rabble-rouser. She had "a lot of irons in a lot of irons," as she put it, and would occasionally reveal some secret plan she'd been working on behind the scenes for years. So well known was her nefariousness (and her disdain for the Emperor), that several individuals looking to start a revolution against the Empire would seek out Ratma's help. One such would-be-rebel was Kyle Oakenbacher, a defector from the Emperor's Order, who had been sending her letters asking to for her help, though she never replied.

As a part of her plot to take down the Order, Ratma teamed up with local leader Sir Rex Yalos. Together, they conspired to slow the production of the Theonite mines in town, so that the Order wouldn't have as much. This was eventually noticed by the Order, who sent Selene von Esper to town to investigate. It was also noticed by the owner of the company that owned the mines, Screech Echo, who also traveled to town to investigate.

Another of her secret plots was that she had built a second Goblin Pit location down in the tunnels below Rimeford. She planned to retire here, and coast off of the earnings from this second tavern. It was centrally located between several underground settlements, so should be a profitable venture for her. After fleeing from the Order, Ratma was later found down in Mineford, the underground city where she had built this tavern.

Biography[]

Years before settling down in Rimeford, Ratma had been a mighty adventurer. She ran with a crew, which included the aforementioned Big Bo, and together, they went on many adventures. One such adventure included slaying a dragon that had been causing havoc in the town of Still-Glenn. How she went from her days of heroics to maintaining a tavern in a tiny town is unknown.

Due to her shenanigans with the Theonite mines, Screech Echo and Selene von Esper arrived to investigate. Ratma quickly became enamored with Screech, mistaking his mysterious brooding as flirtatiousness. However, after Screech accepted an invitation to stay at the much more fancy Ridgewood Keep, Ratma's feelings for Screech soured. She became a sworn enemy, and vowed to destroy him, though she never actually did anything evil toward him.

After a couple weeks, Screech and Selene, along with T'Chuck and R'Oarc ended up making things worse in Rimeford. The Order grew more and more suspicious, and issued a warrant for the arrest of Ratma, and Rex Yalos. Not wanting this to happen, Ratma fled Rimeford, giving ownership of the Goblin Pit there to T'Chuck. He, too, was fleeing, however, so she told him to figure someone else out to run the place. He did not.

Ratma escaped to her hidden location in Mineford, and there, she waited for the group to find her, which they did. She immediately put them to work in cleaning up the settlement, slaying monsters, and in general bein' a real hard ass.

Later, she sent the party off to sneak their way into Farhold. When they ran into some issues, they sent a message to Ratma, asking her to meet them in the small town of Brookwillow. She agreed, and said she was on her way. Then, in Episode 105, she sent them a message that she was going to be running late, as she'd been held up by some OT heat. However, the party soon became caught up in a plot to assassinate the Emperor, forcing them to head out to Farhold early to meet with the would-be-assassins' handler. They left the circus behind in Brookwillow, but the circus was about the head out to Farhold as well. So, their rendezvous was postponed.

The party returned to the circus, on the road to Farhold, and were surprised when Ratma arrived to greet them. She led them back to Farhold, into the sewers beneath the city. There, she revealed the headquarters of the Resistance, which Ratma herself ruled over. She offered them positions in the Resistance, citing them as capable allies in the fight against the Empire.
